D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
In metaphase, chromosomes are thick, shortest least coiled and minimum in size. Each chromosome has its both chromatids attached at centromere, oriented at the equator of spindle apparatus.
In meiotic metaphase, each, chromosome with two chromatids in a bivalent is connected to the spindle pole of its side by a kinetochore microtubule instead of two as in metaphase of mitosis.
